Directions  for  Ordering. 


1.  For  Steel  Brick  or  Stone  Siding  allow  five  square  feet  to  the  ' 
too  for  lap,  etc.,  or  send  us  the  dimensions  of  the  buildings,  with  size  of  all 
doors,  windows,  etc.,  and  we  will  send  the  right  amount. 

2.  In  ordering  roofing  add  one-eighth  to  surface  or  give  amount  of  surface  j 
to  be  covered,  including  all  flashings.  If  we  know  size  and  shape  of  roof  we 
can  often  serve  you  better  and  also  furnish  eave  strip  or  counter  flashing. 

3.  For  window  or  door  caps,  or  sills,  give  distance  between  drops  of  caps. 

4.  In  ordering  ceiling  allow  same  for  laps  as  in  the  case  of  Steel  brick  i 

Siding;  or,  better,  give  plan  of  ceiling  with  all  sizes. 

5.  If  building  paper  is  wanted  for  either  siding  or  roofing,  specify  the 
surface  to  be  covered. 

6.  Seven-eighths  or  one  inch  barbed  wire  nails  are  the  best  for  siding  or 
roofing.  It  requires  about  a pound  to  a square  of  siding,  and  from  one- 
fourth  to  one-half  pound  to  a square  of  roofing.  Galvanized  nails  should  be 
used  for  galvanized  siding. 

7.  It  is  of  great  advantage  to  have  a pencil  drawing  of  roof  or  building  to 
be  covered. 

8.  Special  nails  are  used  for  ceiling.  j 

9.  We  sell  all  steel  ceiling,  siding,  roofing,  corrugated,  etc.,  flat  | 
measure. 

10.  Add  about  one-fifth  to  surface  to  be  covered  for  corrugated,  either 

size.  I

on  delivery.  1 


The  Merits  of  Steel  Brick  Siding 


3 


1.  It  is  more  handsome  than  wood  siding;  also  more  durable. 

2.  It  is  less  expensive  than  first  class  lap  or  drop  siding. 

3.  It  is  lightning  proof.  A building  covered  with  steel  or  iron  cannot  be 
injured  by  lightning.  It  is  fireproof. 

4.  It  does  not  cost  half  so  much  to  paint. 

5.  Being  pressed  in  longitudinal  and  transverse  grooves,  it  never  warps 
or  draws  the  nails. 

6.  When  made  of  galvanized  steel  it  requires  very  little  painting  and  will 
last  a lifetime. 

7.  White  lead  paint  is  very  much  more  durable  than  red  mineral. 


No.  2.  Grecian  Pressed  Brick  Siding,  Painted  or  Galvanized.  Size  of 
brick,  1V2X7V2  in.  Sheets  4 or  8 ft.  long. 

This  pattern  is  not  made  by  any  other  firm. 

We  consider  this  No.  2 the  finest  and  most  perfect  Brick  Siding  made. 


No.  3.  Brick  Siding. 

Painted  or  Galvanized.  Size  of  brick,  2^x8V^  in. 
Sheets  4,  8 or  10  ft.  long. 


4 Directions  for  Putting  on  Steel  Siding. 

(Building  should  first  be  sheated  with  ship  lap  or  common  boards.) 

1.  Begin  at  either  top  or  bottom  of  building. 

2.  Next  to  ground  put  strip  of  galvanized  steel  to  protect  the  painted 
steel  from  dampness. 

3.  The  hollow  or  concave  side  of  mortar  line  should  be  out  and  the  ribs 
against  the  sheeting  boards.  The  edge  of  sheet  having  the  wide  margin  is  the 
upper  edge.  Use  seven-eighths  barb  roofing  nails. 

4.  Press  sheets  down  closely  and  nail  in  the  grooves  beginning  at  center 
of  sheets  and  working  towards  sides  and  ends. 

5.  Window  and  door  frames  should  be  set  in  from  face  of  wall  from  one 
to  two  inches  the  same  as  for  brick  buildings.  The  Steel  Siding  is  then 
turned  in  to  meet  jambs  and  a piece  of  moulding  is  nailed  in  to  cover  joints. 
This  is  when  six-inch  studding  is  used. 

6.  Use  corner  strip  No.  68  behind  moulding. 

7.  When  two-by-four  studding  is  used,  wood  casing  or  No.  97  metal 
casing  can  be  used. 

8.  Our  new  Steel  window  casing  No.  97  and  cap  makes  it  easy  to 
finish  around  doors  and  windows,  making  a very  tight  and  neat  looking  job. 
Put  board  one  by  four  or  five  inches  behind  the  casing  to  make  it  solid.

Siding,  but  only  as  showing  the  relative  cost  of  wood  siding  and  Steel  Siding. 


Cost  of  Brick  Walls. 


5 


A solid  brick  wall  eight  inches  thick  costs  $20.00  to  $30.00  per  hundred 
square  feet,  face  measure. 

A 4-inch  veneered  brick  wall  costs  for  the  veneering  alone  from  59.00  to 
Si  2.00  per  square. 

A brick  wall  also  requires  a more  expensive  foundation  than  a lighter 
building. 


Roman  Pressed  Brick  Siding. 


No.  6.  Size  of  brick,  l^^xii^  in. 

This  pattern  of  brick  siding  is  not  made  by  any  other  firm.  It  looks 
much  neater  than  the  common  form,  lays  flat  to  the  building  and  is  so  pressed 
that  it  matches  at  ends,  saving  waste  from  lapping;  sheets  are  24  inches  wide 
and  48  or  96  inches  long.  Made  of  painted  or  galvanized  sheets. 

Fire-Proof  Walls. — Asbestos  Lining. 

Steel  brick  siding  or  veneering  makes  a good  protection  against  fire  when 
nailed  to  the  sheathing  boards,  but  if  asbestos  felt  is  put  between  the  steel  sid- 
ing and  the  sheathing  boards  the  steel  may  be  heated  very  hot  and  the  build- 
ing will  not  burn. 

The  use  of  asbestos  paper  under  Steel  Siding  and  Roofing  has  increased 
very  rapidly  in  the  last  few  years.  It  is  absolutely  fire  proof,  besides  serving 
every  purpose  of  common  building  paper. 

It  reduces  the  rate  of  insurance  and  makes  propert}’  much  more  secure 
from  damage  b)’  fire. 


Galvanized  Steel  Siding. 

We  make  our  brick  siding  of  galvanized  sheets  also,  and  in  this  form  it  is 
nearly  everlasting,  requiring  very  little  attention,  and  may  or  may  not  be 
painted. 

Chipped  Brick  Siding*  Painted  or  Galvanized. 

This  is  one  of  the  best  forms  of  Metal  Siding. 


No.  4.  Sheets  24  inches  wide  and  97  inches  long. 

Chipped  brick  siding  No.  4,  as  shown  above,  makes  a very  handsome  front 
fora  store  building.  Pilaster  No.  37  or  pilaster  of  some  form  made  of  No.  3 
or  5 should  be  used  to  finish  corners  of  buildings. 


Rou^h  Dressed  Stone  Siding. 

Painted  or  Galvanized 


No.  5.  Sheets  24  inches  wide  and  95  in.  long. 

Stone  siding  No.  5 is  used  for  fronts,  as  shown  in  No.  70;  also  for  founda- 
tions and  entire  buildings.  It  is  made  of  painted  or  galvanized  sheets.  It 
may  be  sanded  while  the  paint  is  fresh  and  thus  make  a more  perfect  imitation 
of  stone.  The  sand  will  also  preserve  the  paint  and  the  steel. 


Diamond  Roofing* 


/ 


No  8.  Diamond  Roofing. 

Directions  (or  Laying  Diamond  Roofing. 

1.  Begin  at  eaves  and  work  upward.  Use  eave  strip  to  start 

2.  Put  first  sheet  in  position  at  one  of  the  lower  corners  of  the  root,  the 
length  of  the  sheet  extending  across  the  roof. 

3.  Put  ends  of  cleat  under  upper  fold  of  sheet,  bend  back  and  nail  to 
roof  boards. 

4.  The  side  of  sheets  having  the  grooves  is  the  outside. 

5.  The  next  sheet  above  locks  over  this  and  is  pounded  down  flat. 

6.  Lock  end  of  sheets  with  tongs. 

7.  Cut  triangle  piece  out  of  corner  of  sheets. 

8.  When  roof  is  complete  give  it  a good  coat  of  paint 

Building  Paper. 

We  recommend  the  use  of  lining  Papers  under  all  roofing  and  siding  as  it 
is  a non-conductor  of  heat,  and  makes  a building  cooler  in  summer  and  warmer 
in  winter.  It  also  prevents  the  steel  from  ever  rusting  on  the  under  side. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  building  paper  in  small  or  large  quantities  at 
veryi  low  rates. 


Noisy  Roofing. 

In  parts  of  the  west  where  high  winds  prevail,  metal  roofing  is  liable  to 
rattle.  To  prevent  this  we  first  pass  roofing  sheets  through  a beading  machine 
which  makes  them  stiff  so  the  roofing  cannot  rattle  in  the  wind.  If  the  beaded 
roofing  is  wanted  always  mention  the  fact  in  order.  The  Diamond  Roofing 
and  Metal  Shingles  will  not  rattle  in  the  wind.

Ready  Made  Standing  Seam  Steel  Roofing. 


No.  g.  Painted  or  Galvanized  Steel. 

This  roofing  is  made  of  the  best  steel,  No.  27,  same  as  our  other  forms. 
The  side  seams  are  turned  in  our  factory,  as  shown  at  the  right  of  figure  above. 

It  is  much  more  easily  put  on  than  the  roll  roofing  and  is  best  for  any  roof  ; 
having  a pitch  of  one  inch  to  the  foot  or  over.  \ 

How  TO  Lay. — This  roofing  is  put  on  the  same  way  as  the  standing  seam 
described  on  page  9,  except  that  the  end  locks  are  turned  on  the  roof  with 
folder  which  we  send  with  each  shipment. 

To  lock  ends  of  sheets  cut  in  three  quarters  of  an  inch,  as  shown  in  cut 
above,  and  with  folder  turn  a lock.  Lock  ends  together  and  pound  down 
tight. 

Start  ne.xt  course  with  piece  of  sheet  and  continue  to  lock  on  as  above. 

We  send  tools  which  are  charged  85  cents. 

On  a gable  roof  cut  the  standing  seam  and  bend  sheet  down  on  opposite 
side.  When  this  is  done  it  is  not  necessary  to  use  a ridge  cap.  Put  building 
paper  of  some  kind  under  all  metal  roofing.  It  is  not  necessary  for  sheets  to 
be  the  length  of  roof.  1 

! 

Gauges  of  Black  and  Galvanized  Sheets.  ^ 

i 

We  make  our  painted  Steel  roofing  of  Gauge  27,  weighing  about  70  pounds  i 
to  the  square.  Galvanized  roofing  is  made  of  Gauge  28,  weighing  80  pounds  I 
to  the  square,  or  Gauge  26,  weighing  go  pounds  to  the  square.  This  is  net 
weight  without  the  crating. 


Standing  Seam  Roll  Roofing. 


9 


No.  7.  Riveted  Locks. 


Standing  Seam  Roll  Roofing. 

This  is  the  best  form  for  a very  flat  roof,  and  will  make  a tight  roof  as 
flat  as  one-half  inch  to  the  foot,  but  we  always  recommend  any  roof  to  have  a 
pitch  of  at  least  one  inch  to  the  foot  if  possible. 

The  cap  is  formed  on  one  side  of  the  continuous  sheet  so  it  cannot  become 
detached.  We  rivet  the  cross  locks  so  that  it  is  impossible  for  the  ends  of 
sheets  to  come  apart,  for  which  7 cents  a square  extra  is  charged. 

Directions  for  Putting  on  Roll  Roofing. 

To  lay  this  roof,  cut  a piece  from  the  roll  long  enough  to  reach  the 
length  of  the  roof  and  turn  this  upside  down  to  form  a cap,  then  with  inch 
tongs  turn  a fold  along  the  edge.  Next  turn  the  sheet  right  side  up  and  with 
the  same  tongs  turn  the  folded  edge  to  a perpendicular  position  and  the  cap  is 
formed.  The  other  side  is  bent  up  to  stand  in  the  cap.  Put  cleats 
fifteen  inches  apart  along  perpendicular  edge  of  sheet,  nail  them  to  sheathing 
boards  and  bend  down  over  the  upright  edge,  then  press  cap  over  same  and 
bring  cleat  over  cap  and  clamp  tight  with  squeezers.  See  cut  No.  9. 

Steel  Roofing. 

A good  steel  roofing  covered  with  best  paint  and  repainted  every  two  years 
will  last  an  indefinite  time.  A painted  steel  roof  must  be  protected  on  the  under 
side  with  building  paper  to  prevent  it  from  sweating.  When  thus  protected  it 
will  not  rust  on  under  side.  But  poor  steel  or  iron  painted  with  worthless  paint 
cannot  give  any  satisfaction.  We  use  only  best  materials  and  build  our  trade 
on  good  goods  and  honorable  dealings.  We  consider  gauge  28,  called 
“standard  gauge”  painted  steel,  too  thin  for  roofing  and  use  No.  27  entirely. 
A pure  asphalt  and  linseed  oil  paint  is  the  best  for  a flat  metal  roof. 


10 


Metal  Shingles. 


No.  10.  Galvanized  Shingles.  Showing  Two  Pieces  Put  Together, 


These  shingles  are  easily  put  on,  nakes  a tight  job,  and  can  be  used  on  a 
roof  having  quarter  pitch  or  steeper. 

These  shingles  are  pressed  in  sheets  that  cover  one  foot  wide  and  are 
usually  four  feet  long,  but  can  be  furnished  in  other  lengths  if  desired. 

The  method  of  laying  the  metal  shingles  is  the  same  as  that  of  the 
Diamond  Roofing.  Fine  roofing  for  churches,  residences  and  mansard  shapes. 
Use  eave  strip  for  starting  first  course. 


Roofing  Paint. 

A good  roof  paint  must  be  free  from  acid, 
must  adhere  well  to  the  metal,  not  be  por- 
ous, that  will  not  melt  and  run  with  heat  or 
crack  and  peal  in  cold.  Elaterite,  which 
is  a kindred  mineral  to  Asphaltum  and  is 
mined  in  Colorado,  possesses  these  qualities 
in  a high  degree. 

It  is  to  our  interest,  as  well  as  our  cus-  j 
tomers,  to  furnish  the  very  best  paint  for  | 
steel  roofing  and  siding.  This  we  do  at  a | 
very  small  margin  of  profit.  Roof  paint  is  ' 
shipped  in  quantities  of  three  gallons  up  to  i 
barrels.  | 

Roof  Cement  we  furnish  in  5 lb.  cans  | 
and  larger. 


Elaterite  Roof  Paint. 


Galvanum  Paint. 

This  paint  is  prepared  especially  to  adhere  to  new  galvanized  work. 
Write  for  prices  and  full  description. 


No.  6o.  Riveted  or  Double  Cross  Lock. 


VVe  make  Galvanized  Steel  Roofing  in  all  the  forms  given  in  this  cata- 
logue, Nos.  7,  8,  9 and  10.  No.  7 is  made  with  single  and  also  with  double 
cross  locks.  For  long  flat  roofs  we  consider  the  double  cross  lock  very  neces- 
sary. A good  galvanized  roof  carefully  put  on  and  cared  for  will  last  from  50 
to  75  years.  We  believe  a galvanized  roof  well  put  on  is  the  best  roof  for  the 
money  in  the  market. 

Where  double  cross  lock  is  not  made  we  rivet  the  end  locks.  This  is  of 
great  importance. 


V Crimp  Roofing. 


No.  II. 

Furnished  with  wood  strips.  Ends  of  sheets  should  be  locked  same  as  No  9. 

In  lengths  not  over  8 ft. 


Brick  Ties. 


These  Ties  are  made  of  galvanized  iron  strips  in.  by  9 in.,  with  ends 
corrugated.  Their  use  is  to  hold  brick  walls  together  when  the  walls  are  built 
about  2 inches  apart  for  air  space. 

Samples  and  prices  on  application. 


Corrugated  Roofing  or  Siding.  Painted  or  Galvanized. 


No.  124.  Curved  Corrugated. 


We  have  excellent  facilities  for  curving  sheets  in  any  shape  desired. 
Our  corrugated  is  rolled  deeper  than  that  furnished  by  the  general  trade  and 
is  therefor  stiffer  and  better  for  roofing. 


No.  14.  2%  in. 


The  corrugations  are  one-half  inch  deep  and  this  makes  a splendid  roofing, 
f the  pitch  is  three  inches  to  the  foot  or  more. 


Corrugated  Steel. 


13 


No.  13.  INXH  CORRUGATIONS. 

Sheets  4,  5,  8 and  10  feet  long.  Other  lengths  cut  to  order, 

Either  size,  corrugated,  loses  about  15  feet  in  100  in  side  and  end  laps 

We  make  our  painted  corrugated  of  No.  27,  best  steel.  Flxperience  has 
proved  that  No.  28  is  too  thin  for  durability.  Galvanized  corrugated  is  either 
gauge  26  or  28. 

We  have  just  recently  installed  two  fine  new  corrugating  machines  that 
make  perfect  corrugations.

Galvanized  Eave  Strip. 

The  eave  of  a metal  roofing  is  the  first  to  give 
out,  for  the  last  drippings  of  water  hang  on  and

Many  other  combinations  can  be  made  with  same  numbers.  Send  us  size  and 
drawing  of  room  and  we  will  suggest  design  and  pattern. 

In  case  width  of  room  does  not  divide  even  by  two  feet  after  cornice  is 
taken  out,  a strip  of  filler  is  used  between  the  cornice  and  body  of  ceiling 
Patterns  117,  24  and  25  are  used  for  this  purpose. 

The  plates  in  above  pattern  are  trimmed  in  square  shears  after  being 
stamped,  making  them  easier  to  put  on  and  a much  better  job.

Directions  for  Putting  on  Steel  Ceilings. 

In  general  there  are  four  kinds  of  ceiling  on  which  the  steel  is  or  may  be  applied. 

First — New  work,  in  which  case  the  wood  strips  are  nailed  direct  to  the  joist  six  inches 
apart. 

Second — Plastered  ceiling,  in  which  case  the  strips  can  be  put  either  six  or  twelve  inches 
apart. 

Third — Solid  wood  ceiling  or  sheeting  boards  in  which  case  no  strip  need  be  used. 

Fourth — Plastered  side  walls.  If  strips  are  put  on  over  the  plastered  side  walls  it  will 
bring  the  steel  out  too  far  for  the  casings.  Therefore  cut  out  the  plaster  and  lath  every  six 
or  twelve  inches  and  put  the  wood  strips  in  these  places,  then  nail  the  steel  ceiling  to  the  wood 
strips.

No.  109  The  above  cut  shows  section  of  ceiling  8x8  ft.  compos- 
ed of  plates  24x24  in.  This  pattern  is  made  up  with  any  cornice  or 
molding  desired. 


Directions  for  Putting  on  Steel  Ceilin^--Continued. 

Scaffolding — For  long  rooms  it  is  better  to  make  scaffolding  to  reach  the  entire  length  o f 
room.  Put  celling  on  in  courses  reaching  the  length  of  room;  otherwise  the  ceiling  will  not 
come  out  straight. 

Consult  plan  of  ceiling,  which  we  send  with  invoice.  Locate  the  body  of  the  ceiling,  ob- 
serving the  distance  it  will  be  from  each  side  of  wall,  then  go  across  each  end  of  room  and  make 
marks  every  six  inches,  starting  so  that  every  24-inch  mark  will  come  under  seam  of  ceiling 
plates. 

Next  make  chalk  line  marks  the  entire  length  of  room  holding  the  ends  of  chalk  line  on 
the  points  named  above.  This  process  will  enable  the  workmen  to  get  ceiling  on  perfectly 
straight,  also  make  much  quicker  work  putting  on  the  wood  strips. 

Wood  ceiling  strips  furnished  by  us  are  1 x 1^  inches  and  8 feet  long. 

Do  not  strip  the  whole  ceiling  before  commencing  to  put  on  the  steel,  but  follow  the  strip- 
ping up  pretty  close  with  the  steel. 

As  a general  thing  it  is  better  to  put  the  body  of  ceiling  on  first,  then  the  cornice  mold, 
and  last  the  filler  or  moldings,  etc,,  that  go  between  the  body  of  ceiling  and  cornice.  In  all 
our  stamped  ceilings  there  are  sunk  buttons  every  six  inches  along  sides  of  plates  for  the  nail- 
ing places.

and  No.  134  cornice. 

Directions  for  Putting  on  steel  Ceilin^--Continued. 

We  furnish  an  oval  head  barb  wire  nail  one  inch  long  which  we  have  made  for  the  special 
purpose  of  putting  on  steel  ceilings. 

All  the  plates  of  our  high  grade  ceilings  have  the  edges  trimmed  after  bein^  stamped, 
making  it  much  easier  to  do  a good  job.  In  case  of  cheaper  ceilings,  not  trimmed,  it  is  better 
for  the  workmen  to  trim  two  edges  with  tinner’s  snips. 

When  the  ceiling  is  not  level,  as  it  often  happens,  small  pieces  of  wood  should  be  put  under 
the  wood  strips  at  the  proper  places  to  make  ceiling  level.  The  lapping  edges  of  the  plates 
should  be  tapped  down  slightl}'  with  riveting  hammer  or  blunt  iron.  We  make  solid  miters  for 
comice  mold  when  ordered,  or  send  a miter  pattern,  which  will  enable  the  workmen  to  make  a 
neat  job  at  corners. 

I'sually  no  ceiling  cornice  is  put  across  front  of  building,  as  there  is  not  room. 

The  painting  of  a metal  ceiling  has  a great  deal  to  do  withits  appearance.  Any  paint  that 
is'good  for  inside  wood  work  is  all  right  for  steel.

Iron  Doors  and  Shutters. 


55 


! 


A building  can  frequently  be  saved  during  a fire  if  the  windows  and  doors 
are  protected.  Stone  and  brick  walls  are  of  little  use  in  stopping  the  progress 
■of  a fire  if  they  have  unprotected  windows  and  doors. 


We  make  an  im- 
proved form  of 
this  shutter,  mak- 
ing one  side  of 
round  corruga- 
tions and  the  oth- 
er side  of  square 
corrugations.  This 
makes  the  shutter 
more  rigid  and 
straight.

I Send  size  of  opening  and  number  of  shutters  wanted  and  we  will  give  a close  estimate.  Iron

machine.  Twenty-five  pounds  attached  to  the  hand  rope  will  balance  1000 
pounds  on  the  platform.  We  furnish  inch  best  manila  rope  for  the  power 
sheave,  inch  rope  for  the  break,  and  best  wire  cable  for  the  platform  and 
balance  weight.  Guides  for  the  platform  and  also  for  the  weight  are  shipped 
with  elevator.  In  fact,  everything  except  the  timbers  which  support  the  gear- 
ing, which  is  better  furnished  where  elevator  is  put  up.  Drawings  are  sent 
with  each  machine  showing  how  guides,  etc.,  are  to  be  placed.  Style  No.  99  is 
made  in  sizes  up  to  about  6x9  ft.  platform;  style  100  up  to  7x12  ft.  platform. 
This  latter  style  is  intended  especially  for  wagons  and  carriages.  When  ask- 
ing for  prices  give  style,  size  of  platform  and  height  of  lift.  These  three 
things  are  needed  in  order  to  make  prices. 


No.  71.  Steel  Covered  Residence. 


Builders  have  been  accustomed  for  such  a long  time  to  the  use  of  wood 
siding  for  residences  that  they  are  naturally  a little  slow  to  use  a new  cov- 
ering. The  excessive  price  of  lumber  at  present  urges  property  owners  to 
seek  other  materials.  It  is  easy  to  prove  to  any  one  that  galvanized  brick 
siding  is  much  cheaper  than  wood,  more  durable,  a better  protection  against 
cold  weather  .and  does  not  cost  more  than  half  as  much  to  t-p  painted.
